I like that they made the area SO much bigger for PSVR2. It's huge now, if you like.

I want the same logic applied to Dreams. Give us an updated version, with larger scope for PS5 and PSVR2, Sony, and stick it on Plus Essentials. Give that game the life it deserves and watch the creativity EXPLODE!

Cities VR Enhanced Edition Review (PSVR2) -  City Builder's VR Excursion Feels Like Home - PSU

Fans of Cities Skylines can bring a new perspective to their city building with Cities VR. It manages to make the experience more personal and engaging. It won’t ruin Cities Skylines for you, but might make you appreciate it differently.

I can't remember a console lunch with so much compelling software. I really love about 15 or more launch titles and growing.

I'm also glad for PSU doing specific reviews for PSVR2 versions.

Generally speaking, and this goes for all consoles in the history of gaming. The bar is usually set lower for reviews as it’s new hardware. It takes a while for developers to get to grips with hardware and provide better games so lower quality games will get higher scores as there’s littler choice available to stretch out the posts with. So I wouldn’t read too much into it.

Better games will come. There’s not a great amount of quality yet but it’s not even been out a month.

I never really understood the building in games thing, but apparently it's pretty popular!

I’ve always loved games like SimCity 4 and Cities Skylines. You start with nothing and then create something in your vision, and you try to micro-manage every part of your city in order to get it running properly, keeping your citizens happy/satisfied, etc. Even when you’re not actively playing, you catch yourself thinking about new projects in your city. It’s a genre where, if you’re invested, hours can pass by very quickly.

Two Point Hospital is more about managing than it is about building something pretty, but it’s very addictive as well.

Recently bought Planet Coaster and sadly that hasn’t ‘clicked’ with me yet. I love the premise pf building gorgeous theme-parks, but kinda struggling with the controls.

Now that you mention it, I do recall getting hooked on a game where you had to keep the customers happy. I think it was a theme park game.

Anyway, I see how this could be more compelling in VR, as you can experience it as one of the citizens and instantly change the skyline if you like. The POWER!

Usually not really interested in VR. In this case however the idea of building a city and then moving in it through street view sounds really cool. Will probably get VR2 in 1-2 years when, hopefully, the price is lower.

I like city builder....and really exited about this one ...but i really think they could have do better on the graphic side to help the immersion....

Very interesting, I think vr would be a natural extension for a game that you build cities. Imagine looking up at the skyscraper you just built. What would be really cool is going inside a building, being able to talk to citizens, or drive a car around. A lot of possibilities.
